Portrait of John Kenwich, Jr.

Creator: George Romney
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
George Romney's compelling portrait is masterfully rendered with thin sem-transparent glazes that create depth, luminosity, and realism.
In-person, this 242-year-old painting gives the feeling the sitter John Kenwich, Jr., is alive and with you in the room.
To a large extent, the value of an 18th-century portrait depends on how handsome or beautiful the sitter is. John Kenwich Jr. is a handsome and distinguished fellow with an air of refinement about him.
Bust-length, in a red coat with fur trim
